Win my own Pete Fowler toy!

16th October 2006

Colly here, interrupting the guest author’s flow with a quick competition. I have a wonderful 8” vinyl Pete FowlerTribes of Monsterism figure to give away, seeing as somebody just sent me the full set! Specifically, his name is Maphi, and I have owned him for a year. He appeared in one of the Kia (car) animated ads on the telly. In case you don’t know, Fowler is the chap who has designed most of The Super Furry Animals album covers over the years. It is a must-have useless ornament!

How to adopt Maphi

OK, if you want to win Maphi, just leave a comment explaining where abouts you would put him, and why. I’ll pick what I believe to be the funniest at midnight GMT on 18th October, and it’s author will receive Maphi (in his original box).

I’d put him by my puppy’s food bowl to ward off our older dog who keeps eating his food. When not guarding puppy food he’d also be used on various other guarding duties such as to ward off evil flies that also scare my puppy. Yes, my puppy is a big girly boy and I think he’s also afraid of his shadow and possibly everyone elses - he needs a guardian.

It’d have to be on a buffet table at my (forthcoming) wedding reception. It’d go in the canapÈs section, pride of place in the middle of the table, with a mixture of small cubes of cheese, miniture hotdog sauages and small pickled onions on his antlers.
